Hi, I need help wrapping my head around IR.
Less than 2 weeks left until my exam and I've taken 3 practice exams so far with 740 (Q47 V46, IR4), 710 (Q48, V40, IR7), and 770 (Q49, V47, IR4). I'm pretty happy with the overall scores, except the IR scores are pretty crappy, relatively speaking.
For quant, I have gone through the TTP course. For verbal, I'm pretty strong already, plus I read the Manhattan verbal books which I found really useful for test taking strategies.
I obviously know the content but need some tips or pacing strategies for IR that I can perfect in the next couple of weeks or I might flop this thing. Already ready the Manhattan IR book which helped a bit but need something else, clearly.
Any tips/resources?

Which mock tests are these? Official ones? I have observed that IR in Official mocks (atleast in my case) came little weird. As in, you would generally see questions from multiple questions based prompt simultaneously but in mocks it would come as 1 in the beginning and then 2 at the end. That screws up the timings.
In general, I have seen IR is pretty easy in real exam. So I won't worry too much about IR at this time.

Hello, gmatrookie2020. Those are some impressive total scores, and it would be a shame for you to feel compelled to retest if you earned below a 5 on the IR section. How do you get better at the section? The first key is to be a diligent reader, as I outline in this post. Many times, understanding just what the question is asking makes the task much simpler. Sometimes when expressions or equations are attached and they look like a nightmare, a little logic, combined with the information given, can help you solve the question with little effort. For instance, in this question, you encounter a key piece of information at the end that the consolidated loan will have a 5 percent rate. If you can deduce what to do with that 5, it becomes an easy Quant-style question. Regardless of whether you are missing table-reading questions, CR-style questions, or mathematical expression questions, you will have to learn to cut to the heart of the matter by latching onto keywords and figures. The intimidation factor can be high, but once you practice enough questions, you see the same sorts of patterns over and over. Finally, I would recommend checking out the Integrated Reasoning (IR) Mega thread, which contains many useful links.
I hope that will get you started. Happy reading, and good luck with your studies.
